Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

On this gale force wind, and now, snowy Utah day, I settled in reading my newly received BBB, what a great book! Just finished the Fender section, looking forward to the Gibson section. I found an error, curious if anyone else spotted it.

Let me know and I will bring it up at he next Canadian Bassist Roundtable. I'm sure Geddy will apologize for the oversight.

I love-and miss-mine. Itching to get 'er back. Been together since '73.

I had mentioned a few dozen posts back that I'll prolly get her back on the 16th 'cos we have a gig on the 15th. Gig got 86'ed. Now I have no idea when it'll be done...Ooh! Wait! Another gig on the 18th, so it'll be the 20th(closed the 19th)or 22nd(big day at the dentist on the 21st). Aaaaarrrggh.

Then it will be back on the 87th.

Back in the day, Gibson's "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" slogan prompted Epiphone (who were still independently owned) to use the slogan "Epiphone - When "Good Enough" isn't Good Enough".

I doubt anyone else will catch it, besides, I haven't finished the book yet . Hint: it's not an error in any technical aspect.

they are! he called it quits back in the mid 80’s and into the closet they went...

Wow. Going to buy them back?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Wow. Going to buy them back?

not those, he’s got a Sunn 2000S that believe it or not, I GAVE (yes, don’t ask ) to him when I went to play on contract to Europe figuring it was too heavy and set up for the wrong voltage to take with me and I’m trying to recover that amp. I would get on a plane and bring it back from Fla but he ain’t having it....

My apologies, as I’m trying to catch up ITT. Is this in regards to the new NR TB?

Harbor's good for non-critical items yer gonna use once or twice and ya don't really care if it breaks. I got a pretty decent cowbell for ~$2.
